One look at Brad's work history shows you why he is a prime candidate for the job. With a background in traditional sports and development to go along with this pro gaming past, he will look to maximise the talent available in the region.

"My aspirations have always been to be part of the support staff and help advance talent within a dynamic organization. "

Ross also expressed excitement at the upcoming Overwatch events in the SEA region:

"With Blizzard’s business outreach and plans for the Overwatch League, I have been eager to position myself for just that. I'm excited for the opportunity to travel abroad and contribute to the long term development of MEGA ESports.”

Team MEGA Thunder is still waiting on a more exciting logo to show off, coming soon.

“It only takes a short conversation with Brad to recognize that he not only has the drive and ambition required by anyone who wishes to succeed in esports, but also the knowledge of both Overwatch and team dynamics that will one day create champions."

A common term that comes up more and more in esports is that of Professionalism. Organisations now need more from their players than just being "really good".

"Everyone here at MEGA ESports is confident in Brad’s ability to handle the ever-important task of providing our players with the guidance, both inside and outside of the game, that will nurture their already impressive talent."
